Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends approval of an agreement with Simon Property Group, Lake Square Mall for an emergency response staging area for the utility operators.

 

Analysis:

The mall management team contacted staff to renew the agreement for the use of a portion of their parking lot to stage utility vehicles and equipment during emergency or disaster situations.   The agreement allows any City of Leesburg utility department and/or their contractors to make use of the area east of JC Penney to stage equipment, vehicles and crews during emergency or disaster recovery operations.

 

The use of this area is a potential advantage during recovery operations where there is significant damage in this area.  This site provides a convenient location from which to dispatch and respond to this area.

 

Options:

1.  Approve the agreement with Simon Properties; or

2.  Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate

 

Fiscal Impact: 

There is no fiscal impact associated with accepting this agreement.
